Tahiti at $500 RT

Polynesia is about as close to paradise as you can possibly get. Trails wind through dense, lively rainforests criss-crossed with vines and scattered with waterfalls. Green, jagged mountains rise up over the water. Every island is ringed with white sand beaches, crystal-clear shores, and blue lagoons. 

Travel writers love to say a place is "heaven on earth," but I think we've got a pretty good case for this one!

It might be a long journey to these islands, but it doesn't have to be a hard (or expensive!) one. French Bee will hop you right over the Pacific with one non-stop flight. Their website redirection is acting up today, but you can still book from the homepage if you re-enter the dates you chose on Google Flights.

You'll be drinking out of coconuts before you know it :-)
